The efficacy of a vaccine is different from its effectiveness. It is dependent on several factors such as: 1  adherence to vaccine schedules. 2  the disease â some diseases have vaccines against them that perform better than for other diseases. 3  the strain of vaccine â some vaccine strains are more effective than others.
Vaccines have contributed to a significant reduction in many childhood infectious diseases, such as diphtheria, measles, and Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib). Some infectious diseases, such as polio and smallpox, have been eliminated in the United States due to effective vaccines.accines work by preparing the bodyâs immune system for future attacks by a certain disease, caused by either viruses or bacteria. Vaccines contain weakened bacteria or viruses, or parts of bacteria or viruses, and mimic these disease-causing agents (which are called antigens).
